Hi Milos,
I do not think community assembly as a replacement for the Board would
work. A body of 10 people and a body of say 50 people are different
bodies and they should have different functions.
I do not think imposing a lot of constraints for the board election
would work either. In the end of the day, what we got is the opinion of
the majority of the voters. Most of our voters are white males, and this
is a fact. We should not really be surprised that we get three white
males elected. If Denny, James and Dariusz were barred from running by
constraints, I guess many would just not turn up. I personally voted for
two of them, and I would be pretty much disappointed if some external
constraints would prevent them from running. I think we have to live
with this.
However, someone (I think it was SJ but I might be wrong) came up with
an idea of an advisory body, which would not be the Board but would have
members with different backgrounds, elected / partially elected /
apointed (to be discussed) which would be able to give a quick advice to
the Board on certain initiatives without creating cross-project drama. I
guess this is smth which can develop from your ideas in the community
assembly.
Cheers
Yaroslav
